If you’re ready to start-up or grow your temp staffing agency, choosing your target market is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. Find a staffing niche that combines your professional expertise with solid employment data. No matter how well-versed you are in a particular field, if that job market isn’t growing, your staffing endeavors will be futile. Going too general often reduces the quality of services provided and can damage your business relationships and reputation. Success depends on your ability to find the best candidates for clients. Remember, you can’t be everything to everyone.
Without a doubt, the temporary staffing industry is booming and likely to continue growing through 2014. If you’re ready to grow, here’s a small sample of the fastest-growing, well-paying temporary jobs. All jobs on the list are poised to grow at least three times the estimated rate of total job growth. They also pay over $16/hour on average.
